Keep the Homefires Burning

9:40pm and finally finished (Hubby is so relieved!)

I had written a few days ago about my husband's incessant, inexplicable need to upgrade our computers and how, on his latest impulse-driven outing on my computer, he lost all my i-photos and slideshows I had prepared for my mom's upcoming birthday.

Well as of 9:40 this evening, I have completed (and backed-up on a disc) the two slideshows I'd lost. Phew!

My mom's b-day celebration is next Saturday and I am thrilled to have finished the slideshows...again!

I have to say I'm pretty proud of them. I used Point of Grace's "How You Live" for one of them. For the more goofy, funny slideshow I used a little-known song by Lori Loza called "Perfect Woman". It is such a cute song. Here are the lyrics. My mom loves Proverbs 31 (the theme of her party) so I HAD to include this:

Well I had a dream just the other night
I was perfect woman in the perfect life.
I prayed every morning at the crack of dawn
All my children called me Saint Mom
I never got tired, I never ran late
My house was spotless 24 hours a day.

My kitchen produced only gourmet meals
I ran a taxi on the side to the little league field
I joined every committee that the church could form
But I was always waiting when my man got home
They listed my phone in Proverbs 31
So the women could call to see just how it's done.

I was a perfect woman
Impossible though it seems
I was a perfect woman
Even if only in my dreams!

I never made one mistake while training my kids
Dr. Dobson even called to get some help with his
The Lord never said no to my requests
I was always anointed, I was always blessed
I was always smilin'
I never got down
I never showed a wrinkle and I never gained a pound

I was a perfect woman
Impossible though it seems
I was a perfect woman
Even if only in my dreams!

Well, if you're feeling somewhat overwhelmed
Don't be afraid to lay that burden down
You can't do it all haven't you been told
Sometimes a woman's gotta just say, "No"
Stay true to your God and your family
and if you're perfect chances are you're dreaming just like me!

I should try to figure out how to upload the song. It's so fun. I suppose I could ask my husband...no wait! What am I saying? He's not allowed to touch my computer for a year!!

Blessings to all. I shall sleep the sleep that comes from total mental exhaustion!! (But it was worth it for my awesome mom!)
